Patient's question:
The child was born only a few days ago. Recently, for some reason, they have been scratching their ears constantly. I'm asking what to do if a 16-month-old baby seems to have a sore throat, not eating or drinking, and has a fever.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that you give the baby Panadol and Meilin oral liquid for fever and cold treatment. If high fever occurs, you can use physical cooling methods. If the effect is not satisfactory, please go to the pediatric department for a detailed examination and treatment. For simple cases, local medication is primarily used: solutions of antibiotics or mixed solutions of antibiotics and steroid hormones, such as 0.25% chloramphenicol solution, chloramphenicol hydrocortisone solution, and ofloxacin ear drops, can treat otitis media and external otitis, among others.
